We are offering a free ticket to everyone who shares the same birthday as Beethoven!

245 years on from the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven on 16 December 1770, the London Mozart Players & Howard Shelley will be marking the anniversary of Beethoven’s birthday with a lunchtime concert and reception celebrating one of his most revered works, his piano concerto No. 3 in C minor Op. 37.

This particular performance will mark the third concert in the Beethoven Explored series, a 5-part lunchtime concert series running until February 2016. Each of the concerts in this series explores a different one of Beethoven’s piano concertos, unraveling the stories behind his works through fascinating illustrated introductions from Howard Shelley as well as performances of the works from the LMP. Beethoven’s third concerto is a piece of work that marks the flourishing of Beethoven’s creative trademark as he led orchestral music out of the Classical and into the Romantic era. 

Those lucky enough to share the same birthday as Beethoven will be offered a complimentary ticket to attend this concert. Please bring photographic ID to the box office to claim your complimentary ticket. 

After the concert, all attendees will be offered a slice of Beethoven's birthday cake!

This particular concert starts at 1.05pm on Wednesday 16 December.

100% of the profits from ticket sales of these concerts will be donated to the Royal British Legion.
